About this map

Angeles Point reaches into the Strait of Juan de Fuca on this mid-century survey of the Clallam County coastline. The landscape is defined by the outlet of the Elwha River, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad follows the shoreline through Elwha Station and Lower Elwha. This transportation corridor was central to the region's movement of timber and goods between the Olympic Peninsula interior and the shipping lanes of Freshwater Bay.

To the east, the outskirts of Port Angeles appear, including the Clallam County Airport and the Ocean View Cem. Significant maritime information is captured offshore, including a large Restricted Anchorage and the international boundary between British Columbia and Canada. The presence of small landmarks like Ranger and Coville Creek provides specific points of interest for those tracking local history and land use in this coastal timber region.
